The Past Speaks

Kris Inwood, an economic historian at the University of Guelph, has been mentioned in a Boston Globe article on the current state of economic history.  The article lacks a coherent message and  meanders around a variety of topics, such as the impact of computerized historical research in the 1960s, the problem of getting the right sources, and Jan de Vries’s concept of the Industrious Revolution. However, the piece is still worth reading.
